A` Re-post From David C. McCasland of Our Daily Bread

Finding God’s Pathway

The Channel Tunnel opened on May 6, 1994, nearly two centuries
after it was first proposed in 1802 by Napoleon’s engineer, Albert
Mathieu. Today the 31-mile passage beneath the English Channel allows
thousands of people, cars, and trucks to travel by train each day
between England and France. For centuries, people had sailed across the
Channel until this surprising new way to go under it was completed.
God planned an unexpected route for His people too—one we read about
in Exodus 14:10-22. Faced with certain death, either from Pharaoh’s army
or by drowning, the Israelites were near panic. But God parted the Red
Sea and they walked through on dry land. Years later, the psalm writer
Asaph used this event as evidence of God’s mighty power, “Your road led
through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters—a pathway no one
knew was there! You led Your people along that road like a flock of
sheep, with Moses and Aaron as their shepherds” (Ps. 77:19-20 nlt).
God can create roads where we see only obstacles. When the way ahead
of us seems uncertain, it’s good to remember what God has done in the
past. He specializes in pathways in any circumstance—pathways that point
us to His love and power.

Thank You, God, for the miraculous waysYou have worked in the past. Help me toremember Your power and faithfulness whenI can see only trouble and difficulty.

The God who created a way for our salvation can certainly see us through our daily trials.

Insight

In
this lament psalm, Asaph writes of the sense of abandonment, the
sleepless nights, the distress, and the anguish he felt when God did not
respond to his cries for deliverance from his trials and suffering
(vv.1-10). But then he remembered and recounted the mighty works God did
for His people in the past (particularly His mighty deliverance at the
exodus). When he reflected and meditated on who God is, he was assured
of God’s greatness, goodness, and guidance (vv.11-20). Where God leads,
He protects and provides (v.20).

About Me

I am Mel Alarilla, male, married, a Christian trying to be of service to God & His flocks. I aim to spend the remaining days of my life sharing the Gospel and its message to unbelievers who are still groping in the dark. I have no personal motives in doing this but the desire to please God and glorify His name in everything that I do. I have no pretensions in life. I am not extraordinary nor do I claim to be sublime. I am an ordinary mortal who suffers the same pitfalls common to man.
